FWIW, OSX is only "kinda" BSD. It's Apple's own Mach kernel, and a
heavily modified version of FreeBSD's userland.

I haven't personally done NFS between BSD and Linux, but there are
plenty of people who do.

While you can't really count on OSX to be a real *NIX/BSD, at least you
can get a shell prompt, ssh, and many other things. I like that a lot,
but I'm often reminded by various things that it's NOT Linux, or BSD.
